RESOLUTION NO. %.
OFFICE OF STATE LAND BOARD,
AUSTIN, TEN, Aug. 3, iSS6.


Resolved, that all common school, uni
versity and asylum lands, sold under the
provisions of the act approved April y,
1888, which may become forfeited for
failure to pay the interest due by the 1st
day of August, and which lands are &C
tually occupied as homesteads, by the
purchasers or their vendees, are hereby
declared to be segregated from the mass
of educational lands, and the same shall
not be subject to re-entry or purchase,
except to the actual occupant, while so
occupied as homesteads, until the Legis-
ture or the courts of the country shall
otherwise order.
Resolved further, That as the improve
ments on all forfeited lands become the
property of the fund to which the land
belongs, the actual occupant of such
land is hereby charged with the duty of
preserving such property from destruc-
ton or removal.
Under this order the board accept new
files from all settlers who can make
proof of settlement, and this is being
done in great many cases.
LEASE DEPARTMENT
The following embraces the principal
transactions in this department since the
act of 1883 went into effect, the first
leases being made at the January A. d.
1884 sitting the board: Net receipts
from leases, S521, 1852; balances due
byIlessees, S117,934.S0.
The above figures are to December 81,
1886, and considerable amount of the
balance due being for October, Novem-
Der and December payments, much of it
will be received during January.
Lessees will also be entitled 10 credit
for large number of sections sold out of
their leases, and this will further greatly
reduce the amount put down as due and
unpaid. Credit is not given for sections
sold at the time the sales are made, for
lessee remains in possession and reSpon-
sible for the rent until the purchaser set
ties in compliance with the terms of his
purchase. In large number of cases
this proof of settlement has not yet been
furnished, and credit has consequently
not been given. 1t may also be proper to
state that of the above balance the sum
of $50, 260 is due on leases of public do
main in Greer county.
The accounts for amounts overdue are
made out after thirty to sixty days, and
pl:ced in the hands of the Attorney-Gen-
eral for collection. A large number of
suits have been brought and many col
lections made through his department. l
am also advised that many large amounts,
lately falling due, are in process of col
lection, and will probably be received be-
fore the meeting of the Legislature.

Sudden Death.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Feb. civilian Harvey,
aged probably forty years, fell from
chair in which he was sitting, in the Par
nell saloon last night, and in an instant
was stone dead. 1t was in evidence that
he had been drinking more or less heavily
for week, and with him had been one
Pat Haley, who Swallowed Harvey all The
time. Haley was arrested on suspicion
of having poisoned Harvey. Haley was
afterwards released, as there was no
proof whatever against him. The
general opinion is that Harvey
died from heart troubles, aggravated,
perhaps, by over-indulgence in al
coholic stimuIants. Harvey was rail-
road man and in his pocket was found

90, 1886, by Ranger Texas Assembly,

Obituary.
S. d.

In memory of our deceased brother,
Geo. w. Fennell, who was called from
labor to eternal peace and rest March
9th, 1887.
Brother Fennel was born June 9TH.
1928. in Penalty, Vermont, and at the
age of 80 came to the then Northwest
and settled in Grant county. Sept.
10th, 1856, he married the eldest
daughter of W. w. Ciliey with whom
the last twenty-one years of his life
were happily passed.
August &c, 1871, he was raised to the
sublime degree of 3 master Mason and
until his death was true and consis-
tent Mason with all it implies. One
whom the craft delighted to honor,
whose virtues finger in our remem-
brance like the odor of sweet incense,
and the lustre of whose life is not OBJ
scured by the tomb to which we have
consigned his body.
1t WAS, however, III MS own nOlno
and in his private life the more pres
cious qualities of our brother shono. An
affectionate husband and father. faith
full friend he was most loved by those
who most intimately knew him, his
sympathetic soul, warm heart and ready
hand was always open to relieve the
distressed.
Brother Fenne felt that the true mis-.
sion of Mason ss to better society and
mankind, to walk uprightly in all his
dealings and nobly did he ever fill thai
mission, so that when his call came to
leave the Lodge terrestrial we hope the
door of the Lodge celestial was opened
to him and the Master sitting in the
glorious East said unto him: Well done
thou good and faithful servant; enter
into the joys of my kingdom.

The Reorganization OF the Grant County
Veteran Association.

Mr.. Editor: As one of the origina-
tors and organizers of the Grant Coun.
ty Veteran association l wish to ex.
press my views in regard to the present
organization; viz: the Southwestern
Wisconsin Veteran Association. which
is the successor to and grew out of the
Grant Co. Association.
can now see and realize that we
made q serious mistake in permitting
or consenting to the enlargement of the
same, by taking in the counties now
comprising the ASSOCIATION.
The association has become an ele.
plant; too large and unwieldy and its
meetings are held at quite distance
from the home Of many of the old sol
diers. thusentaiiing considerable expense
and loss of time in reaching the place
Of meeting and, therefore does net &C.
commodate the members of the various
counties as 1t would in case it was con-
fined to each county.
Another Objectionable feature of the
present association subjects the people
of the different places where its meetings
are held to great expense for elaborate
decorations and dinners for the veter-
ans who meet in annual reunion, which
is quite tax in these hard times, which
should not be, and is not asked for by
members of the association, except it
might be for a suitable hall to hold its
business meetings.
The sum paid for dinner is small
matter for each individual but if pro-
vided for the whole association is quite
load to town or city.
! have talked to a number of the
veterans of Grant county and all those
with whom | have spoken are in favor
of the reorganization of the Grant
county association at an early day.

THREE EFFECTS thousands
of remarkable cures which have been
accomplished by Hoods Sarsaparilla
are due simply to the three effects
which this great medicine has upon
those who take it:
First. 1t puriies the blood.
Second. 1t strengthens tho system.
Third. 1t gives healthy action to the
digestive organs.
With these three effects no disease
can long retain its hold. 1t is forced
to leave the system, giving place to
health and strength, through the potent
influences of Hoods Sarsaparilla.

MISS ADDIE MoNTEITH.

MISS Addie Monteith, a prominent
and highly respected young lady. and
eldest daughter of Mrs, Maria Monteith
of Fennimore, Wisconsin, died al
Werley, May 16, 1887, of brain fever.
She was Is years months of age. In
her business life she was respected
and successful lady. She was of a
genial and amiable disposition. Ever
ready to sacrifice pleasure for bel
friends and acquaintance. Her re-
mains were taken to the beautiful
cemetery at the White school house. fol
lowed by large circle of friends BY
whom she was highly esteemed. Miss
Addie leaves mother, three brothers,
two sisters and hosts of friends to mourn
her loss.
AdJie, we miss thee in the morning
When the sun in splendor breaks,
When little birds with gladness sing.
All happy nature wakes.
And as we rise from our couch
And press our aching heads.
We think of thee, dear Addie,
AS numbered with the dead.
We should not think of thee as dead,
But only "gone before
To welcome and to greet US
On that celestial shore;
Where bands OF happy angels
In fairy boats, do come,
To bear US DER the river
To our eternal home.
We miss thee at the noontide,
When the sun shines bright on high,
Where snowy clouds are floating
Across the azure sky,
And when we see some lovely flower,
Or waterfall or tree,
think feed thy spirit
Hoyering sweetly over me.
Sometimes We listen for thy voice,
AS when we were at play,
But the silence only tells us,
That you are far away;
| Up in the bright, bright heavens
Among the shining stars,
Where glorious angels soar away
| In their tripmphal cars
| We miss thee in the evening
| In thy accustomed place,
/ But dream we see thy eyes so brown
And thy smiling, happy face.
! AND when the silver moon beams,
Upon the earth do fall
| We think OF our Creator
/ Whe csreth for US all.
